What Fleet Capacity Fits Your Private Gathering?

Selecting the right vessel size ensures your social gathering has ample room to move, dance, and relax. We operate 40 of our 88 vessels configured specifically for group celebrations, spanning total lengths from 53 to 164 ft. Intimate family groups or small friend circles often opt for compact sport motor yachts, while larger celebrations occupy multi-deck vessels featuring expansive upper flybridges and central salon lounges. If you want a comfortable mid-sized option, consider booking a yacht of 55 ft that features wide exterior decks and air-conditioned interior seating. Our largest vessels accommodate up to 75 guests simultaneously without feeling overcrowded. Every motor yacht in our fleet features private seating quarters, sound connectivity, and open sunbathing areas tailored for entertaining along the Dubai coast. Our charter managers assist in choosing the ideal layout based on your exact headcount.

Simple Booking Steps and Date Retention Policies

Securing your preferred date on the water takes only a few simple steps. The process begins through our WhatsApp chat button, where you send your desired trip date, timing, total guest count, and any service add-ons you require. A manager immediately confirms vessel availability, suggests matching motor yachts, and provides a clear total quote. Paying 30 % up front locks the date securely on our charter calendar; unpaid dates are not held for any client. Once the deposit is processed through a secure online payment link, your time slot is officially reserved. The remaining balance is settled before boarding at the marina. Should adverse sea conditions prompt official sailing restrictions on your chosen day, you can select an alternate date or receive a complete refund without hassle.

Our Experienced Crew Members Manage Every Voyage

Navigating a private motor vessel requires professional seamanship, allowing your group to focus entirely on the celebration. Every charter departing from Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina includes a fully certified captain supported by attentive deckhands. When booking a power boat charter with our team, you do not need any personal boating licenses, skipper certificates, or sea navigation credentials. The marine crew handles all mooring procedures, steering along coastal waterways, and maintaining onboard safety. Deckhands assist with serving refreshments, managing ice bins, and helping guests safely enter the water during planned swimming breaks. Their presence ensures high standards of hospitality while keeping the vessel running smoothly throughout your entire journey across the city waters. Relax on the main deck while our licensed crew coordinates the smooth operation of your motor yacht.

Can Catering Packages and Beverages Be Arranged?

Flexible dining choices let organizers tailor their party menu to match guest preferences precisely. We maintain an open bring-your-own policy, allowing guests to bring whatever food and alcohol they like without paying any corkage fee. Onboard electric grills permit live cooking, and if you enjoy an afternoon on the water trying to catch fish, our crew can set up tackle and prepare your catch. Arranging rods, tackle, and bait ready on board costs AED 150, and having your catch cooked on board costs AED 150. Alternatively, turnkey catering services can be pre-ordered through your manager. A full multi-course dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, featuring international cuisine options. For casual trips focused on angling alongside the party, adding deep sea fishing in Dubai Marina offers a fun activity before the main evening gathering begins.

How Hourly Rates and Charter Fees Work?

Transparent charter pricing makes planning your party straightforward and predictable. Our hourly rate ranges from AED 880 to AED 18,900 across the fleet, depending entirely on the motor yacht model, overall dimensions, and guest capacity you choose. Every quote given by our manager is the final figure with VAT inside, so you never encounter unexpected port taxes or hidden fees upon arrival. The total charter fee covers the exclusive use of your private motor yacht, fuel for the standard coastal route, fresh drinking water, ice, and dedicated service from our professional captain and crew. Minimum reservation durations typically apply depending on peak timing and weekend schedules. By eliminating surprise fees, hosts can accurately budget their event whether planning a short two-hour sunset cruise or an extended all-day sea gathering along the Dubai shoreline.

Audio Entertainment and Live DJ Setups Available

Music sets the tone for any successful gathering on the water, and our party fleet comes fully equipped for sound. Built-in sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity let you play custom playlists directly from your personal mobile device across multiple deck zones. For larger celebrations seeking a nightclub atmosphere, we arrange professional DJs with custom audio decks and specialized lighting setups upon request. You can also order media hardware such as projectors and presentation speakers for video screenings or speeches during corporate events. Hiring a professional photographer on board starts from AED 500 per hour, providing high-quality photos of your group enjoying the deck entertainment. Water sports equipment like jet skis, flyboards, towable inflatables, and paddle boards can also be added to enhance your party experience.

Cruising Iconic Coastal Sights and Harbor Landmarks

A party cruise presents incredible urban perspectives as your motor yacht navigates past famous waterfront landmarks. Departing from either Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina, your vessel moves through scenic channels toward the open sea. Cruising routes typically take your party past the high-rise towers of JBR, around Bluewaters featuring Ain Dubai, and alongside the outer crescents of Palm Jumeirah. Extended itineraries allow your group to anchor near the lagoon by Burj Al Arab for photos and swimming. Anchoring in calm, sheltered waters gives guests the chance to jump into the sea for a refreshing swim before resuming the deck celebration. The combination of open sea views, impressive architectural backdrops, and peaceful coastal waters makes cruising here a highlight for local residents and international visitors alike.

Custom Event Coordination for Every Special Celebration

Private motor yachts offer a flexible setting for hosting gatherings ranging from casual family reunions to formal business gatherings. Groups organizing a milestone occasion can order targeted add-ons to enhance the ambiance. For instance, having your yacht decorated before you arrive starts from AED 350, adding customized floral arrangements, balloons, or thematic decor across the main deck. If you are celebrating a personal milestone, we arrange birthday party boat rentals complete with sound setups and custom catering menus. A celebration cake brought on board starts from AED 250, while candles and flowers set up on deck are available from AED 400. Businesses looking to entertain clients or reward internal teams frequently host corporate mixers on our larger motor vessels, utilizing indoor salon lounges for speeches. Whatever your event format, our charter team tailors the setup to match your schedule.
